Bimmercode

Finally just did it tonight. Only spent 30 mins and a quick test drive but love the options so far. Fun and easy to use, helps personalize the car.

iPhone and veepak2. Seriously one of the easiest things I've ever done. I just watched some YouTube videos to get my comfort level up and read a lot of posts over the last year since I got my f10.

I spent some time playing with Bimmercode too, SO glad I spent the money. I love having the mirrors fold in and out automatically, and being able to open & close the trunk from the key fob and the drivers side button. Turning on soft welcome lights is the most visually pleasing, love seeing my fog lights slowly turn off when I lock the car.

BTTW · 03-09-2020, 11:32 AM

I did the same thing. I wish I knew how to post pictures on here. Sport gauges red, Tire temperature, M loading screen, warning messages, auto start stop automatically off when the car comes on, fog lights on with unlock

You just have to purchase a compatible obd2 adapter and download the bimmer code app. The app runs around $30 and the adapter is about $30 as well. Also, check the model year of your vehicle some, options can not be added to all vehicles. Ie: I have a 2011 and can not code a different boot up logo.

I wonder if you did a full software update from BMW if you could program things like this... I'm considering doing a software update in order to be able to then code enhanced blue tooth for music from my phone.

Anyone know about that?

So you can't play music from your phone using Bluetooth?

I honestly don't know how a full update will impact the coding options. Most of the issues I have seen with not being able to code certain things, has to do with missing computers for those options.

I was planning to code the Bluetooth audio as well, however I am missing the Com box in the trunk. I wanted to code the boot up logo, but apparently my CIC media center does not have the functionality.
I would need the newer NBT media center to code the boot up logo. So, you will definitely want to check on the options you most want and make sure you car is compatible. I think there are still great options you can code on all models.

Not in my 2011, wasn't an option then. BT calls, yes. So it is programmable.

Wht550jersey · 03-10-2020, 11:26 AM

It took me awhile to figure out Bluetooth in my 11 for music , I think i have the technology package also tho . Don’t know if that makes a diff

Gjohnson7 · 03-10-2020, 11:31 AM

From what I understand, you have to have a Com box located in your trunk. Some models actually have the Com box installed, but the function just needs to be coded for it to function. Others, like myself, will have to install a Com box to add Bluetooth music streaming.

My car has Bluetooth, but it's for calls only.

Mine is 2011 and came from factory with this feature turned on.

What did you end up having to do to get it to work? Anything programming wise?

Wht550jersey · 03-10-2020, 02:01 PM

I kept connecting it through bmw connected app via app and arm rest usb and charging my phone in the USB port . Once I switched over to cig lighter and adapter and re installed my iPhone to connect Bluetooth it started connecting for music

Have you checked to see if your car came equipped with a Com box? From what I've been told it's a must.

Wht550jersey · 03-10-2020, 02:15 PM

I can check later tonight

Gjohnson7 · 03-10-2020, 02:54 PM

I would love to get more information about this if possible. The research I've done has stated the Com box is required for Bluetooth Audio streaming, if that's not the case that would be awesome. I originally thought I had a Com box located in my trunk, but could never get anyone to reply and confirm.

Can you do Bluetooth calls?
